Scene Missing…. thanks…

No matter what… NIIICE!

*Kevin does a little dance*

Cool! I just hope the video you sent to Cyan didn’t say “Scene Missing”

argh….we wantsss the animatic, precious!

Oh man, it just gets better and better! Those are some heavyweights you’ve got in your corner, for sure. As for the missing scene…*throws tomatos*

ARGH ANIMATIC

I agree on all points concerning the themes of the story (despite my rants about the books. I’m an English major, it’s my job to nitpick I do looove the books though)

Is the focus a little soft on Patrick’s right ear? At least now we can visualize the two geniuses behind all this.

It isn’t a focus problem, it’s a keying problem. What you’re seeing is the feathered edge of the matte. Such is the way when you’re working in standard definition. Actually, if you have a look at the LotR special edition documentaries, you’ll see similar (but less drastic) issues there, and that was shot in HD.

Yea, glad to see you finally put this up!
Although, I was hoping to see the animatic I’ve been telling Mick about, he’s really intrigued (as is everyone else!)
My sad attempt in describing the animatic gave little justice in which it deserves, are you guys planning on adding it back in at any point?

Thanks for showing this, Adrian and Patrick! Things get more and more excited with each new post that is revealed, and that presentation was really cool! I just hope you will let us see the trailer soon, because I think we’re all dying to see it now! You sure know how to tease us.

*happysigh*

::begins squirming and wiggling and clawing feebly at the screen:: omgmystmovie!

*does a little happy dance*

I am *really* happy now… *has spazzy Myst fan joygasm*

This is getting me VERY exited, I can’t see how Cyan could say no to two such obvious fans who clearly want to remain true to Cyan’s vision.

Hmm, any chance of getting a peek at that missing scene?

Ha ha, quality, guys. Quality.

You used an Alias DVD… how could I have ever doubted you?

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You just made my day!!!!

I have no words! Well, no real words. The words cycling around in my head right now go something like “oooooooeeeeeeeeeaaaahhhh!!!”

YAY!!!!!! Big names, big project, which ended with a big YES from Cyan… so why can’t we see the animatic? I almost cried when it said “Scene missing”, and then it got referenced. How longer must we wait for more exciting tidbits from the genius Mysteriacs?

Interesting.
Guess we will have to wait and see what you guys can produce. You definately have everyone’s attention. Good Luck!
I would remind you two about quality and the lore with Myst, but with that opening puzzle, I think you two have a good grip on that.

wow. Nice and Exciting!
So, now, the list of what I (at least) can hardly wait to see:
0. The making of the Presentation.
1. The Animatic.
2. The Making of the Animatic.
3. The trailer.
4. The making of the trailer.
….
There is an obvious pattern there.

wooohooo!
thx for letting us in on your journey, have fun (& some rest) on this waiting part.
wooohooo!
(/me gets very very exited by this creative, persistent project)

YAY we have a book confirmed! And it’s not Book of Atrus! Lol everyone knows about that book….

Now… it seems all real. even more real than it did before. i mean, you hit all of my favorite movie producers! Titanic, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM!!! Then you got cyan on your side too, and that is when it must have seemed like heaven to you guys! You guys have got everything you could possibly need, I have full confidence that you can get this movie into the blockbuster hit!

but POO on you for not giving us the animatic! YOU BOTH HAD BETTER PUT IT OUT THERE SOON, OR ELSE THE MYST FANS MIGHT TRACK YOU DOWN AND BREAK INTO YOUR STUDIO! Just kidding. But seriously though, it might do you and everyone else good if you just put it out there, like, i don’t know, NOW!!!

good luck to you both!

Ooooo this is awesome!!! when do you guys plan to release the anamatic?

Wow. Cool. Awesome. REALLY awesome!
You guys rock! Thank you for sharing this.
And I can’t believe you got a commitment from John Howe. That is just too cool for words. That’s like, a guarantee that the visual aspect is going to be fantastic. More than fantastic.
Okay, time to stop rambling. eep. So excited!!

WHY is there is scene missing? WHY do you guys hate your lives SO MUCH that you would throw them away over something as trivial as a copyright problem?

But seriously guys, Star Wars, Jurassic Park, LOTR, Titanic, Superman, X-men? We’re not setting our goals too low are we? O.O

Can’t wait for the animatic! Bounces up and down repeatedly - so do we have a deadline for that for public release?

YAY!!! thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!

so do we have a deadline for that for public release? Yeah, we do, actually.

Have you developed a schedule for the release of the information concerning when you will tell us the deadline?

“Have you developed a schedule for the release of the information concerning when you will tell us the deadline?”
_
Where’s the fun in that?

This is SO exciting!

You have John Howe on board? No wonder Rand said yes.

This is, by far, the most exciting thing I have seen in the Myst world since UrU, perhaps since Myst itself - I’m stunned by the professionalism displayed - it adds altitude to my attitude!

Thank you so much for pursuing this - I guess the end has NOT been written, or written-off!

This definitely has potential. Very exciting! The question I have is… I know that you’re looking for Cyan to grant permission, but is Cyan also going to have input to the movie/script? I know that Rand and RAWA (among many others) have always been driving forces in the Myst world and I would think that their working on this project with you would give it that much more ‘Umph’ with the fanbase. Good luck!!! I hope it comes to fruition!

Wow, this video worked fine. I don’t understand why the previous one didn’t…oh well, guess that’s how life dealt this out to me. It was nice to see what the previous clip became.

you two still haven’t answered my question with the music composition. are you going to be using any of the music composers from the origional Myst series, or are you finding origional composers?

Squeebee, check out Defining Cyan’s Involvement

Adrian - thanks for that link… Great to see that Cyan is fully on board and ready to help.

So - who’s playing Atrus?? Rand? It will be hard to see anyone else in that role… although - if they’re starting with Ti’ana - Atrus won’t really be in that… Ok - I’m getting ahead of myself! I can’t help it! It’s soooo great!

You want support from all the Myst Fans , well include me in and all the above and on behalf of the MYSTcommunity.Hope Cyan(Miller Bros.) reads THIS site to see all the Fan supporters.

Go for it and kick-ass guys!

Looking at these guys, did anyone flash on “Adrian = Sirrus”, “Patrick=Achenar”? Just asking.

…did anyone flash on “Adrian=Sirrus”, “Patrick=Achenar”?
Pretty much…I was reminded of Rand when we got the initial clip of just Patrick, so when they released the longer clip with Adrian, associated him with Robyn. Seriously, you guys convey the same passion of the Millers. No wonder Cyan is supportive.

Looking at these guys, did anyone flash on “Adrian = Sirrus”, “Patrick=Achenar”? Yes, and it’s good to know I’m not the only one.

JOHN HOWE?!?

Wow…I am so impressed. And so psyched. I’m practically bouncing. *g*

…. **Joygasm** ….

… and here, I thought I was one of the only Myst Fanatics out there! Dear gods, I never knew there were more!

And even ones with clout enough to make a movie, I’m amazed!

If there is anything I can do to help, LEMME KNOW!!

Peace favor you, and GOOD LUCK!

Soup’s on

uh, what can I say but wow. I’m tingling.

Gorgeous !!

I hope that this serves to bring some much-deserved attention to the Myst universe, so it may take its place next to the other epic fantasy worlds.

Good luck! I’m behind whatever Cyan is behind

No way. JOHN HOWE! NO WAY!

I was skeptical until I saw the names of effects industry veterans, and then I started warming to it. But I was still worried about design — even the best industry veterans aren’t guaranteed to be able to match the strength of vision in the games. And the John Howe’s was mentioned . . . NOW I’m psyched.

A life inside a life…
I lived myst since i was 12…. i am 27 now and always wished to live there forever !
(probably a psychopathic disoreder)… yet
I like to think myst is part of how i was raised….!
I lived on the all 5 era’s of myst (I-V) and uru, read the 3 books, learned the d’ni written language and numbers, then done all this again several times can’t remeber how many times! atleast 3 times each.

The neccassity to show my excitment towards your project is well justified in my intro
I have those 3 peices of advice:

1) Comparing to LOTR novel…. critics said (the world will dessimate in two halves people who have read the novel and people who will read it!). The point is DO NOT just focus your production to myst fans only!! “they are alot”; but i think myst if well introduced to people (or should i say “the people introduced “into” myst”)
can be a legendary success on your account.

2) do not ever produce the movie in crapy graphics and stage sets!!! you will kill the MYST world all togather. i have took note of your cast but an excellent cast of a past history of dazzling visual effects and perfect 3d rendered scenes Does NOT always mean they will perform similarly on projects involving Myst.(MYST is an emotional state for both the creator and the viewer, gamer or reader). An artist has to be inspired and has to have the feel for what he’s doing (basically living the experience of Myst getting his imagination grasped by the inner emotions and the heartbeats of the Myst worlds)

That was why Rand and Robyn Miller togather with David Wingroove were so succeful with there projects.

N.B. This goes for music and sound effects as well Myst is very sensitive to those as well.

3) Myst how i felt it to be, is a high defenitive description of a created, modifiable, heaven; being experienced at present after being corrupted by evil, greed, revenge, jealousy, misjudgement, and/or injustice…..etc. i.e. (” Each Myst island or world is a ‘Dark’ logical experience of the remains of an “artificially balanced” heaven which is always being descriptevely unfolded ).
4 eras to each Myst world
(a) what it naturally was. AND how was it “artificially balanced” to become a “heaven”
(b) its fall into darkness (destruction) due to any human sin.
(c) the isolated abandoned remains that shiver to survive…. shutdown, broken, misplaced, corrupted…by darkness of sin. (with descriptive evidence of a once prosperate era).
(d) how are the pieces regathered and reconstructed back into a perfect new hopeful and peaceful balance.
The 3rd point (c) is the readers or the gamers prespective as revealed by the original authors of the MYST World.
(This is how Myst maintained a dark mysterious somehow scary yet peaceful non-evil tone of emotion for the receiver (reader or gamer)..)

After your presence as a receiver changes the place back to a “NEW”
“artificially balanced heaven” the time of this shift is the receivers “conclusion” of experiencing any MYST world. In game this reveals a new linking book

all a b c d four points always reflected there effect on the inhabitants of the world you are currently experiencing and vica versa, which gave room for storyline and melodrama. Also they affected the scenery and the power source (the artificial balance). which gave room for more descriptive and graphical presentation of MYST.

I really wish you the best with all my heart i cant wait to watch your Movie.

Good luck to you all

OMG please GO! This is an reeeaaallllllyy hard Quest to finish, if you hit it right, you will be gods.

Glad you got this going, but here’s some thoughts regarding what you have actually presented to us:

The drooling rambling of obsessed fanboys a la anything seen before on YouTube. The only thing you could have shown us that would differentiate you from the others would have been your actual pitch material, not the pitch itself. Please don’t do something like this again without presenting actual visual material. Every single one of us has seen something like this before only to watch it fade away. At least we could have remembered what you were going for rather than the the same words we all have rattling around our heads. This was something that I did not need to see (except for maybe as the last “oh what the heck, I’ll watch this, too” bonus feature on a DVD featuring better bonus features) and represents a few minutes I can never have back.

That said, best of luck. I truly hope you create something great.

Hi Tree, I just wanted to address your comment because it seems to be something that pops up every once in a while. I’m sorry you didn’t find our presentation to be of interest, but I certainly believe that it qualifies as some of the “visual material” you are looking for. Also, I think it is safe to say - based on the support and collaboration we’ve received from Cyan - it is not just the same old “fanboy rambling” you’ve seen on YouTube. The pitch material (i.e. animatic) will be released soon. Other materials will be released as they are relevant and created. Please just try to keep in mind that this site is meant to document a process not a result.

EDIT: Grammar sometimes gets the best of me…

Wow, Tree reminds me of those people I just had to deal with.

Listen, if you don’t like something, fine. If you love it, feel free to say so.

But don’t belittle the work that Adrian and Patrick have put through this and all of the personal struggles they’ve dealt with while still working on this project. Especially Patrick, who doesn’t deserve anyone to tell him he’s a stupid fanboy with a dream.

You don’t like it, fine. Suck it up. Many of us here support them. If you came here thinking that you’re just gunna flame them with your problem-post, tough sh*t.

Also, quick note, apparently the dozens of people at Cyan, including millionaire-idea guy Rand Miller, didn’t think Adrian and Patrick were fanboys. Otherwise, the two of them probably wouldn’t be working on the script right now and have the full backing of Cyan.

(As quoted from previous meetings) I fart in your general direction.

Nek, you’ve become the unofficial defender of our honor. That and your humor are beginning to solidify you as something between spokesperson and mascot. You certainly keep things interesting.

Well, both glad and distraught to here that. You and Patrick act as sub-pacifists. Rightly so, you don’t need to draw negative attention to yourselves. But “you have your opinion” and “What you say is what you feel” will only go so far. People need to hear the truth behind the words. If they’re too ignorant to listen to it, so be it.

But you can’t go through life with the false realization that hard work doesn’t work. You guys are living proof of that.
